"Let me go, what qualifications does your Phoenix Station have to capture a third-rank official from the imperial court?"
"Even if I am guilty, you Phoenix Station will not be allowed to interfere."
"Your Majesty, I want to meet with Your Majesty."
Wang Haochen looked at Qin Hei and Mu Shao with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't let go, are you, the Phoenix Tower, planning to rebel?"
"yes……"
Qin Hei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with a look of panic on his face.
He can't afford the reputation of treason!
"Boss?"
Mu Shao looked towards Ning Fan, but Cheng Jinrong on the side sighed softly: "Master Shen, Wang Haochen's words are reasonable. Even if he is guilty, he should be handed over to the three divisions of Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment for trial!"
"Take it!"
Ning Fan's expression did not change at all, and he looked at Mu Shao calmly: "According to His Majesty's secret decree, I have full authority to take charge of the case of Wang Haochen's collusion with the enemy and treason. He can be executed first and then reported. The imperial authority has granted permission."
"What!"
"this……"
The expressions of all the courtiers suddenly changed. Will they be executed first and then punished?
This is an unprecedented privilege. There has never been such a precedent in Dali!
Qin Hei and Mu Shao on the side were shocked when they heard this, and all the panic on their faces disappeared, and they grinned: "Boss, tell me, what should I do?"
"Take him back and interrogate him strictly."
"yes!"
The two of them held the struggling Wang Haochen between them, and walked towards the outside of the palace at a fast pace. Cheng Jinrong on the side sighed sadly, looking at the staggering back, there was regret and a bit of anger in his eyes.
"Everyone, from now on, we, the Phoenix Tower, have been ordered to supervise all officials. Anyone who has committed corruption, accepted bribes, violated the law, or collaborated with the enemy must take the initiative to hand over the stolen money within one day and surrender to our Phoenix Tower. If you offer the stolen money, you will be exempted. Go die."
"Otherwise, once the time has passed, I will strictly enforce the law and show no mercy."
As Ning Fan spoke, a solemn aura rose up from his body, and he looked around with dull eyes. After all, the courtiers could no longer bear it.
"Master Shen!"
"You keep saying that you are following the decree, but where is the decree?"
"Besides, the Gong Gong princes in this court are all ministers of my Dali. What is your intention in saying this now?"
"How can you, a small leader of the Phoenix Tower, allow you to show off your power here?"
The eyes of the Minister of Punishment were full of coldness, and he pressed towards Ning Fan with a touch of authority that had been in a position of power for a long time, with a bit of a sneer on his lips.
"Your Excellency?"
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Huang!"
"So it's you who is Zhang Huan..." Ning Fan had a hint of joking on his face, walked around Zhang Huan, and said calmly: "I wonder what master Zhang has to do to manipulate the court's serious cases?"
"You deceive superiors and subordinates, ignore the law, abuse your power, and do whatever you want. Isn't the Ministry of Punishment run by your family?"
"You...what do you mean by this?"
Panic flashed across Zhang Huan's eyes, and then he looked at Ning Fan with an angry look on his face.
"Master Zhang really doesn't know?"
"I would like to remind you that three months ago, King Lingyou conspired to commit rebellion and the death row prisoner was replaced by the heir apparent..."
"You...are talking nonsense!"
Zhang Huan looked directly at Ning Fan with a stern expression, his face as dark as water: "I don't know who instigated Mr. Shen to take the opportunity to criticize in this court today. But now, I am facing a powerful enemy, and I will not cooperate with him." You care."
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please expel this son from the hall."
Cheng Jinrong first stayed on Zhang Huan for a moment, then looked at Ning Fan aside: "Master Shen, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"hehe!"
"After King Lingyou failed in his uprising, he had five sons. The eldest son died in battle with his father. Does the Prime Minister still remember the fate of the remaining four sons?"
"nature!"
Cheng Jinrong nodded: "According to my Dali law, those who conspire against the nine tribes will be punished. King Lingyou and his disciples were beheaded in public long after the case of King Lingyou was concluded!"
"Yeah?"
Ning Fan looked at Zhang Huan playfully and said calmly: "Master Zhang, the second son of King Lingyou, was it really true that he was beheaded?"
"Of course!" Zhang Huan looked calm and his tone was confident: "I will personally supervise the execution."
"I admire you!" Ning Fan clapped his hands, looked at Zhang Huang with a smile, and said calmly: "Does Mr. Zhang think that by silencing all those who knew and participated, this matter can be buried forever?"
"you!"
Zhang Huan's expression suddenly changed and he stared at Ning Fan. He walked up to him step by step and said word by word: "Master Shen, I am a second-rank official of the current dynasty. I am in charge of the Criminal Department. I am not a little phoenix like you." Taiwan’s leader can slander us at will.”
"That's all!" Ning Fan waved his hand, looked at Cheng Jinrong, and said calmly: "Since Mr. Zhang won't shed tears without seeing the coffin, come and bring him up to me."
The sound spread outside the hall, and the civil and military officials also looked towards the door of the hall. They saw Du Liufeng carrying a disheveled figure into the hall. Zhang Huan frowned slightly, and was shocked when he saw the man's face clearly. shock.
"Master Zhang, do you know this person?"
Zhang Huan's lips trembled, he pointed at the man kneeling on the ground and shouted: "Who is this?"
"This is an important place in the palace. Who allowed you to bring people in?"
"Shen Yu, do you know your guilt?"
"Are you in a hurry?" Ning Fan smiled playfully: "Master Zhang, don't be anxious. I believe that this person is not only known to Master Zhang, but also the adults who were in charge of the case at the beginning. They should be familiar to each other, right?"
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he heard an exclamation from someone next to him: "Is this...Zhou Tong?"
"The second son of Prince Lingyou, Zhou Tong?"
"Master Zhang, what on earth is going on?"
Cheng Jinrong looked at Zhang Huang with a scrutinizing face, his tone full of questions.
Zhang Huan's expression became a little more dazed, and he seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet. He pointed straight at Zhou Tong: "Why is he still alive?"
"Are you really Zhou Tong?"
"Is there anyone in the world who looks so similar?"
Seeing Zhang Huan still arguing, Ning Fan said calmly: "Master Zhang, do you admit it or not?"
"snort!"
Zhang Huang snorted: "Master Shen, I assert that Zhou Tong was beheaded in public more than two months ago. This son is definitely not Zhou Tong!"
"you sure?"
"I personally supervise the execution, so it will be determined naturally."
"Zhou Tong, raise your head."
Ning Fan looked at Zhou Tong, who raised his eyes slightly and looked at the figures in front of him with ashen faces, but said nothing.
"Master Zhang, take a closer look to see if this person is Zhou Tong!"
"no!"
"You damn duck has a tough mouth!"
There was a bit of a sneer on Ning Fan's face: "On the eve of the execution, you replaced Zhou Tong with a death row prisoner, and bribed officials from the Ministry of Punishments who verified his true identity. After beheading the fake Zhou Tong, you directly destroyed the body and wiped out traces. Then you brought the people involved who knew about it All the people were transferred out of the capital."
"They also didn't expect that you would be so cruel and ruthless. On their way out of Beijing, accidents occurred in various ways."
"However, I'm afraid Mr. Zhang never expected that some of them are not dead, and there are even... more than one person!"
